STOCKTON - Kaiser Permanente, along with several community partners, will hold its 15th annual Neighbors in Health fair Saturday at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds, 1658 S. Airport Way.

It's a new location for Neighbors in Health, but the fairgrounds location is well known by many for hosting the renowned Su Salud health fairs in the 1980s and '90s that at that time were among the largest in the nation.

Saturday's event, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., will provide health care services for adults and children who are uninsured and underinsured.

Among the free services to be provided for adults and children: screenings for blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol levels and vision problems (by appointment); dental screenings and procedures (by appointment); health education; medicine education; acupuncture; body fat testing; school and sports physicals; STD testing; and immunizations (including the Tdap whooping cough booster that schools now require for seventh- through 12th-graders).

As many as 1,500 people have received services at this event in the past. Information: (209) 476-3340.
